Definitions

  • Embodiments generally relate to backlight assemblies.
  • Backlight assemblies are used in a number of different applications, ranging from dynamic electronic displays (ex. liquid crystal displays) to static backlight displays (ex. a backlight positioned behind a poster or static graphic).
  • dynamic electronic displays ex. liquid crystal displays
  • static backlight displays ex. a backlight positioned behind a poster or static graphic.
  • a light guide is used to capture the light, homogenize, and out-couple the light from the light sources.
  • Exemplary embodiments provide a backlight assembly using only air as the light guide ('airguide') where a lens is used to capture the light and a pan is used to homogenize and out-couple the light.
  • the pan can have constant reflectivity, or reflectivity which changes based on the location within the pan.
  • the pan can have features, including ramps, cylindrical curves, sinusoidal curves, arbitrarily optimized curves, or a hybrid of any of these shapes in order to homogenize and out-couple the light.
  • blinders may be positioned above and below the light sources to further control the emission and distribution of light.
  • the various embodiments of the airguide backlight assembly described herein can be used with any device that requires a backlight, including but not limited to LCD displays and static displays.
  • the light sources used with any of the embodiments herein can be any device for generating photons, including fluorescent tubes, LEDs, organic LEDs, or light emitting polymers.

  • FIGURE 9 is an illustration of the light distribution generated by the embodiment shown in Figure 6.
  • FIGURE 10 is an illustration of the light distribution generated by the embodiment shown in Figure 7.
  • Embodiments of the invention are described herein with reference to illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments (and intermediate structures) of the invention. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments of the invention should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing.
  • FIGURE 1 is a side elevation view of an exemplary embodiment of an airguide backlight assembly.
  • An anterior element 10 may be positioned at the front portion of the assembly (i.e. the anterior side of the backlight assembly that would face an intended observer) and may include any one or a combination of the following: clear or frosted glass or plastic, a diffusing element, brightness enhancing films, anti-reflective films, liquid crystal cells, posters/static graphics, etc.
  • the anterior element 10 is at least semi-transparent.
  • the light source 15 is positioned along the edge of the assembly, preferably with another light source 15 on the opposing side.
  • a lens 20 is preferably positioned in front of the light source 15 and may be used to at least partially collimate the light.
  • lens there are no practical limits on the type of lens that may be used with the embodiments herein, assuming that a lens is required for the chosen light source. This may include convex-convex, plano-convex, cylindrical rods, gradient-index, and Fresnel lens.
  • a reflective pan 30 is positioned behind the anterior element 10 and within the path of the light passing through the lens 20.
  • the reflective pan 30 has a simple ramp design where two primary variables control the performance of the reflective pan 30: a Center Gap (CG) and an Edge Gap (EG).
  • the Center Gap (CG) may be defined as the distance from the pan 30 to the rear surface of the anterior element 10, when measured along the Centerline (CL).
  • the Edge Gap (EG) may be defined as the distance from the pan 30 to the rear surface of the anterior element 10, when measured at the edge of the pan 30 and anterior element 10 where the light source 15 is positioned.
  • the CG distance is often on the order of 60- 90% of the EG distance.
  • FIGURE 2 is a partial side elevation view of an embodiment of an airguide backlight assembly using a reflective pan 31 having an optimized curvature 32.
  • An optimized curvature would generally serve to transform the distribution of light as it exits the light source 20 to the desired distribution of light over the viewing area, which is typically a uniform distribution.
  • the distribution of light as it exits the light source at 20 is generally not uniform.
  • the shape of the pan 32 is designed to compensate for the nonuniformity of the light source while simultaneously and conveniently reflecting the light in a predominately outward direction through anterior element 10.
  • the complexity of the shape of the pan 32 depends on: 1 ) the nonuniformity of the light exiting the light source at 20 that must be compensated, and 2) the degree to which the desired viewing area distribution is satisfied. More specifically, the pan may intrinsically reflect more light outward where the light striking it from the light source is weaker, and vice versa. Alternatively and/or simultaneously, in areas where the light striking the pan 32 is relatively stronger the pan 32 may direct light to regions of the viewing area that would otherwise be relatively weaker. A similar effect may be obtained by varying the reflectivity of the pan 32 at different locations along the pan 32.
  • the shape of the pan 32 is shown as being contiguous, this is not strictly a requirement. In other words, the shape may have discontinuities such as bent edges, or even formed in discrete sections.
  • the surface texture of the pan 32 is another variable that can be used to optimize the distribution of light at the viewing area. A smoother texture will tend to 'specularly' reflect light like a common mirror does, while a rougher texture will 'broadcast' the light over a wider range of angles. The surface texture may also vary at different locations along the pan 32.
  • FIGURE 3 is a partial side elevation view of an embodiment of an airguide backlight assembly using blinders 100 around the light source 15.
  • the blinders 100 are preferably placed above and below the light source 15 and lens 20.
  • a top blinder may be positioned between the anterior element 10 and the light source 15 while a bottom blinder may be positioned between the pan 31 and the light source 15.
  • the blinders 100 may have any value of reflectivity, from 0-100%, which serves to aid in the desired distribution of light at the viewing area.
  • a preferred use of blinders 100 is to selectively control stray light as it exits the light source at 20.
  • FIGURE 4 is a partial side elevation view of an embodiment of an airguide backlight assembly showing the variables in the design which can be used for optimization.
  • FIGURE 5 is a partial side elevation view of an embodiment of an airguide backlight assembly showing further variables in the design, including a light source 15 having its optical axis positioned at an angle relative to the anterior element 10.
  • FIGURE 6 is a partial side elevation view of an embodiment of an airguide backlight assembly using a simple ramped reflective pan 30 and a simple rod that serves as the lens 50. This embodiment illustrates, by way of example, the invention in perhaps its most simplistic form.
  • FIGURE 7 is a partial side elevation view of an embodiment of an airguide backlight assembly using a cylindrical reflective pan 35 and a rod lens 50.
  • FIGURE 8 is a partial side elevation view of an embodiment of an airguide backlight assembly using a hybrid curved ramped reflective pan 36, which begins with a ramp section 37 and transitions to a curved section 38 as you approach the centerline of the backlight assembly.
  • FIGURE 9 is an illustration of the light distribution generated by the embodiment shown in Figure 6. This illustration was produced using light modeling software ASAP, which is available from Breault Research Organization. This simulation was performed with no diffuser placed into the model.

Abstract

Les modes de réalisation à titre d'exemple concernent un ensemble de rétroéclairage de guide d'air ayant un élément antérieur, un réceptacle réfléchissant positionné derrière l'élément antérieur, et une source de lumière positionnée pour diriger la lumière vers le réceptacle réfléchissant. Un élément de lentille peut être placé devant chaque source de lumière. Le réceptacle réfléchissant contient de préférence une pente ou courbe de telle sorte que la lumière émise par les sources de lumière peut être réfléchie et/ou réfractée pour distribuer la lumière de façon uniforme vers l'élément antérieur. Dans certains modes de réalisation, des œillères peuvent être positionnées entre les sources de lumière et l'élément antérieur, et entre les sources de lumière et le réceptacle réfléchissant.
